Shadow's Back

"This single is a great taster for the upcoming album. I want to hear more. "You Can't Go Home Again" suprised me. Very different from what I expected. It is a 'radio edit' so I imagine the album version will be quite an experience.
The b-sides (?), "Disavowed" and "Treach Battle Beats", are more like what I expected. Do note "additional production and live drums by Zack de la Rocha" on "Disavowed".
I only gave it 4 out of 5 but I've only listened to it twice so far. If it doesn't grow on me, I'm sure the full length CD will be great."
A nice little extra filler

"DJ Shadow is back, and you can whet your appetite for his new full length cd, The Private Press, with this single. The lead track appears on the album, and is pretty much what you'd expect from Shadow. Disavowed is a nice change of pace, and features ex-Rage Against the Machine singer Zack De La Rocha on additional drums and production. The last track, Treach Battle Beats is merely the drum beat from Walkie-Talkie (on Private Press) with a few extra scratches and samples. This is definitly worth the $$$"
